Okay, so a little rundown.
On the 25th January I had some minor surgery (tonsillectomy) that got quite badly infected. Ended up on 2 weeks of Metronidazole (suppositories), Tramadol and high strength Codeine, along with another basic penicillin antibiotic and a lot of Paracetamol.
Soon after starting on the Metronidazole and Tramadol I began having a lot of difficulty urinating. The pressure was there, the need was there, but it'd sometimes take up to 10 minutes just to squeeze out a drop. I had no control at all over the flow if I managed to get it started (imagine a fluctuating water supply), and if it stopped at any point I could never get started again.
Towards the end of the Metronidazole/Tramadol prescription (they lasted about 12 days) I had an incredibly painful ejaculation. It was the first time in about a month so it felt fairly forceful, but I can't stress the pain it caused. Urination (what little there was) following this was also painful.
I've since recovered from the infections and am off all the drugs for just over a week now. Urination has mostly returned to normal, but ejaculation has simply died. Whilst before all of this I was fairly healthy in that area, ejaculation is now pretty much non-existent with no pressure/force and a greatly reduced amount. There is also a strong need to urinate afterwards, which is always painful.
I don't drink, don't smoke, am in fairly good health otherwise. My diet is very healthy (I'm on a pretty big health kick, lost 24lbs since mid December). If it's relevant, 11lb of that 24 was lost in the last 2 weeks as I was unable to eat. My life at present is somewhat stressful (I work 3 jobs, run a business and am doing a Masters degree). 32 years old if it makes a difference.
Anyone with any thoughts?
I hope that I'm not the only one who does this...
